  Both US coalition and Russia coalition - should put aside differences and forge common ground - to restore peace first.

  
  

  Resolve difference through political process eg. carry out fair election to determine the Government supervised by neutral parties.

  
  

  This will be the most important steps that will :-

  (1) stop the civil war - so that civilians do not have to suffer - as there are already too many death, too many refugees and house, infrastructure have been destroyed and damaged that make Syria non-liveable.

  
  

  (2) stopping the civil war - will prevent more recruits joining ISIS daesh and stop refugees.

  
  

  (3) Unified to defeat ISIS daesh - and take back captured ISIS daesh caliphate. Quashed exteme ideology. Cut supply to ISIS daesh and suffocate them - to force unconditional surrender.

  
  

  This will be the fastest way to defeat ISIS daesh - no need to deploy large foreign troops - that will be seen as foreign invasion.

• If both US and Russia - are not able to focus on common ground but focus on the differences - peace cannot be forged in the political process in Syria.

  
  

  What this mean is that - ISIS daesh will be able to hurt :-

  (1) Russia - eg. plane crash through ISIS bomb. ISIS Terrorists going everywhere to hurt Russian interest.

  
  

  (2) US - ISIS Terrorists going everywhere to hurt US interest.

  
  

  All the more Russia and US must attempt to forge and focus on common ground - and put aside differences to uphold the peace process in Syria - and both have pivot and leverages on their respective coalitions to do it.

  
  

  Because without a peace process, ISIS terrorism threat cannot be effectively eradicated.

  
  

  Russian forces will continue to be drag down in the Syrian civil war and casualties will mount.

  
  

  Likewise for US and the West - will be drag down in the Syrian civil war and the refugees problem.

  
  

  In fact it is very urgent for both US and Russia to resolve it very seriously.

  ISIS daseh only thrive on Syrian civil war and crisis.

  
  

  If Syria civil war cease - ISIS daesh will no longer be able to exploit the chaos to recruit more recruits - as recruits are attracted only by the civil war.

  
  

  Thus ISIS daesh caliphate will no longer be relevant - and it can be easily defeated.
